"Lucky" the Eastern Cottontail Bunny

While mowing the lawn yesterday I heard my son yell "MOM! STOP! BUNNY!", I immediately let go of the handle to cut the engine- and there 5 feet in front of the mower was the smallest, most teeny tiny 'wittle' bunny I've ever seen. He blended in so well with the grass, that had my son not been outside- yesterday would have been a pretty horrible day. But little "Lucky" had a little angel watching over him. We kept him safe tucked away until the mowing was done, then I was able to find his mother's nest where he had 6 to 7 more brothers and sisters! He hopped off to his mom, and they went to the nest. Now hopefully they stay there until they are big enough to see easily!

This is my daughters hand holding him, he fit so snuggly- and didn't even try to jump away. Seemed to really like all the petting and behind the ear scratching :)

About Me

First I would like I would like to extend a big "THANK YOU" for coming to see my blogspot and photography work! My name is Maureen Mlejnek of M.Mlejnek Photography, and I love to get those photos that make people go "awww, I LOVE IT!". I began my interest in photography in middle school when taking a Intro To Photography class. This was one of my most memorable classes, we got to be creative, learn the rules of film photography and develop our own film (which I thought was extra cool in the dark room). Since then my love has only grown, stepping from film into digital- I've worked in photography studios, and mentored with amazing professional photographers. I've taken a bit of something from each of my experiences and have grown into my own style. I describe myself as "editorial cute" :). Specializing in infant, children, couples, families, pet and boudoir. If you have any questions, don't be shy! And again, THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
